re: <<My view at this point is that we have been snookered... INSTEAD of CPQ releasing this news by themselves two weeks ago, they filtered thru SSB's Gardner first of all..>>

If they did you have every right to be outraged. I have not followed cpq so I don't have an opinion about cpq specifically, but this is a big problem for the individual investor.

SEC rules prohibit management from releasing any material information "information that can move the stock price" to favored analyst or stockholders. Any material information must be released to all investors at the same time. If cpq gave out material information to analysts ahead of time, you can be sure you paid for it many times over.

You should not only request that your investor rights be respected, but you should demand it. The SEC rule is already on the books, they just don't aggressively enforce it.

You should complain to SEC at www.sec.gov or help@sec.gov

The more complaints the greater chance SEC will actually enforce the rules.
